It was no big architechture loss, and the new one is magnificent. However, it was full of stories, and some of the same men who built it were around to tell the tales, and they found beer bottles and other objects in the foundations that made everyone laugh. Now I wish I had taken before and after photos, and written down the stories.Heather Rojohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17704949156266722016noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5708531547139862688.post-39137543691369359092011-06-07T12:18:30.369-04:002011-06-07T12:18:30.369-04:00As always, I am so impressed with &quot;you&quot; ...As always, I am so impressed with &quot;you&quot; genealogists! I would love to see your house, gravestone and other documentation projects done in collaboration with some local archivists. At the very least, those photos of historic houses you take could deserve a home in a formal repository. wonder if Norfolk has any other visual record of those homes?MELISSA MANNONhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11173735671172866919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5708531547139862688.post-59497161809106702272011-06-07T12:09:23.432-04:002011-06-07T12:09:23.432-04:00Good point, Marian.

I also had been planning to take photos of the old houses in the town but hadn&#39;t started yet. Thanks for reminding me that I should get going on that now!Bill Westhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01266937924453737084noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5708531547139862688.post-30790231236246318032011-06-07T12:08:22.077-04:002011-06-07T12:08:22.077-04:00Those houses are gorgeous!
